We are pleased to announce the 2019-20 competition for the Ontario Women's Health Scholars Awards for graduate students involved in research in women’s health and its translation into improved health for women, more effective health services and products for women, and a strengthened health care system.

Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, a Scholar Awards Program in Women’s Health has been established to ensure that Ontario attracts and retains pre-eminent women’s health scholars. The community of women’s health scholars fostered by this Awards Program will excel, according to internationally accepted standards of scientific excellence, in the creation of new knowledge about women’s health and its translation into improved health for women, more effective health services and products for women, and a strengthened health care system,
